Welcome to my Advanced Games Development Blog

Introduction

Hello and welcome to my Advanced Games Development blog. The purpose of this blog will be to document and keep track of the progression throughout my AGD module. I will start by describing who it is I am. I am a third year student at Teesside University studying on a BA Hons. Games Design course.  The AGD module primarily focuses on taking a unique piece of concept created by ourselves and then through group practices turning that into physical working product.

Within my AGD team, I take on the role as one of two designers. I have the responsibly alongside the other designer to come up with innovative and constructive ideas based on game mechanics, level flow and design and narrative. During the initial phase, we shall be putting our minds together to brainstorm ideas, whereas after we shall split off to work on our own sections of the demo and game.

After discussion amongst the group and high approval from each member, we decided the game will be creating will fall under the dungeon crawler genre. The game will incorporate some comedy values to it while breaking the fourth wall on some occasions. We will be taking influence from other games such as Wildstar [1] in regards to the humour sense. The game may feature RPG elements as well, but very simple stuff as three pieces of equipment to change on and off and some slightly generic stat progression. This all depends on the time we have and the skill level of the relevant members.
